Program Coordination Requirements

OSU-Cascades leadership and the College Dean agree that there is sufficient coordination of the program between all campuses offering the program.

The campuses agree that academic program meetings related to assessment, curriculum, student learning outcomes, and potential program changes will include representation from all campuses offering the program.

The College Dean and OSU-Cascades leadership agree that sufficient faculty exist to offer the program.

The expansion campus confirms that sufficient funding is available for program build-out and maintenance.

Both (all) campuses agree that the following individuals are appointed as the primary lead for program development coordination, unless otherwise notified of an alternate:

Originating Campus Lead (name, position, email, phone)

Expansion Campus Lead (name, position, email, phone )

Course Delivery

Each campus is responsible for ensuring that they offer sufficient courses for the program each term and that students are able to follow degree plans for program completion.

Each campus works with their campus-based, central scheduling team (Office of the Registrar’s Schedule Desk in Corvallis and Enrollment Schedule team in Cascades) for term-to-term scheduling.

Program Maintenance

A major factor in continued excellence is the maintenance and refreshment of courses and the program. As part of maintenance, the College and any campus offering the program commit to the following:

Program assessment and course redevelopment/review occurs regularly to ensure course material is current, relevant, and maintains curricular alignment across campuses.

Program leadership at both locations agree to communicate regularly and collaborate in a timely manner on any changes to the curriculum and program assessment. The College will inform the expansion campus of any proposed changes to the curriculum of the program in sufficient time as to allow input of faculty who teach at the expansion campus.

Program leadership at both locations agree to continually ensure marketing and recruitment, advising, student services, course offerings, and program assessment are current and effective.

Funding

The expansion campus confirms that sufficient funding is available for program build-out and maintenance at the expansion site. Both the College Dean and OSU-Cascades review the funding overview with details of a budget that supports the following program components: coordination, course development, and program delivery including advising.

Partnership Agreement

By submitting this MOU, you accept all the terms and conditions listed above. On approval of this MOU, you agree to submit a program change proposal in CIM and to notify all impacted personnel (program coordinators, advisors, etc) of their responsibility in meeting the expectations outlined within this MOU.
